EisnerAmper is once again proud to have sponsored the NYU Technology Venture competition, part of the NYU Entrepreneurs Challenge. Prior to the final pitch off last week, EisnerAmper partners were actively mentoring and coaching a number of the participants.

For the past 13 years, NYU’s Stern School of Business has hosted its Entrepreneurs Challenge—one of the largest university startup competitions in the country. This year, close to 500 students, faculty and alumni from across NYU signed up to compete for more than $200,000 in cash and in-kind services.

Some of the details of the 2012 competition follow:

On Friday, May 4, the finalists teams had their one last chance to impress a distinguished panel of judges to vie for: the $75,000 Ira Leon Rennert prize, awarded to the winners of the 13th Annual New Venture Competition; the $50,000 Social Venture prize, awarded to winners of the 9th Annual Social Venture Competition; and the 2nd Annual NYU Technology Venture Competition $75,000 prize which is sponsored by the NYU Innovation Venture Fund, Lowenstein Sandler and EisnerAmper.
